Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence, Modified isoform(s), Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A human MAPT cDNA encoding the longest tau isoform of 441 amino acids containing four repeats, with 2 N-terminal inserts replaced the endogenous mouse gene. Endogenous mouse Mapt protein is not expressed, and the inserted human gene is expressed in brain driven by a murine Thy1 promoter beginning at P15. (J:96869)
